Example of usage

This JavaScript makes sure the DocuVieware control is properly loaded and initialized and then subscribes to the event on load.

function RegisterOnTextSelectedOnDocuViewareAPIReady() {
    if (typeof DocuViewareAPI !== "undefined" && DocuViewareAPI.IsInitialized("DocuVieware1")) {
        DocuViewareAPI.RegisterOnTextSelected("DocuVieware1", function () { console.log("text selected"); });
    }
    else {
        setTimeout(function () { RegisterOnTextSelectedOnDocuViewareAPIReady() }, 10);
    }
}
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function () {
    RegisterOnTextSelectedOnDocuViewareAPIReady();
}, false);
